![]() ![]() Lithium batteries can explode if they overheat or are shorted but they get very hot before they do. It didn't sound very likely and neither does this. I remember, a long time back, a claim that an ordinary cigarette had exploded. It seems there has indeed been one such incident. Not all, but the smugness of a few is so immense it just makes you wish their batteries would explode. Antismoker is antismoker, and some of the vapers are among the worst. I still use my Electrofags because of the weird flavours they can do and because they irritate the hell out of the Righteous. Hitler had nothing on these people.ĭon't think you're going to get away with being an antismoking vaper. At this moment I can think of nothing more disgusting than an antismoker. The end justifies the means, as all Nazis are fond of saying. They did this with their hectoring and now they want to use it to do more hectoring. After or before dropping the lighter? We'll never know but it would explain why he didn't get out when the seat went up. Why did he drop the lighter? Why didn't he get out before the car burned? The clue (which no commenter, nor even, it appears, the coroner has noticed) is in the article. If not for them he would have been in his house, in the warm, smoking his pipe in comfort, not sparking a Zippo in old and cold fingers. Because of Nick Clegg and David Cameron and that stupid bastard Blair who let it all start. Why the hell did he have to leave his home in the first place? Because of the Dreadful Arnott. Why shouldn't he sit in his own car, maybe even have the heater on, and smoke in comfort? If there was a smoking shelter available it would have been as woefully inadequate as they all are. It might have been cold, windy, raining, maybe all three. This man, after all the hectoring by those who now claim him for their campaign for more hectoring, was very likely outside his own home for a smoke. None of them connect this incident with their years of hectoring about the pretend dangers of second hand smoke and the nonsensical insistence that smokers leave their own homes to smoke. None of them wonder why an elderly man might be smoking in his parked car just outside his home. These are the very dregs of humanity, the most vile and disgusting creatures on the planet, and they think they have the moral high ground because they don't smoke. Just how low can ASH and its drones go? The man burned to death within sight of his own home and their glee at making a political statement out of it is almost tangible. Again they come back with the same noises, still doing their best to take advantage of a man's appalling death. Naturally, the drones come back with protests about being red-arrowed for saying that smoking while driving is dangerous and again they are told that he wasn't driving. He was sitting in his car, in a car park, outside his home. Several commenters have pointed out that, according to the article, he wasn't driving. ![]() The comment drones are all present and correct and declaring that 'smoking while driving must be banned'. Bucko has already covered that aspect of it and he is right - any car accident that can be even tenuously linked to smoking or to a smoker, whether they were smoking at the time or not, will be 'smoking-related' in future. The ban will go hand in hand with the ban on smoking in cars because of a single incident. I mean, it's not as if you'd let cavemen have it so you're not going to let modern adults have it, are you? I fully expect a ban on Zippo lighters soon because obviously we can't be trusted with fire. If it's just been filled (or worse, overfilled) you could soon have quite a little conflagration going. If you drop one of those gas lighters, the flame goes out as soon as you let go of the button. The only way to put it out is to close the lid. ![]() ![]() Unlike the gas lighters, you don't need to hold down a button to keep the Zippo alight. It can be done without setting fire to yourself, but you do need to be familiar with the Zippo. The Zippo isn't safe to use tilted so the pipe is almost on its side for lighting. ![]()
